Shocking Details in NM Massacre

The New Mexico teen who shot his mother, father, and three siblings Saturday said he had “anger issues” and was “annoyed with” his mother before he went on his killing spree, according to a police statement. Nehemiah Griego, who is 15, said he had homicidal and suicidal thoughts before he grabbed a rifle from his parents’ closet and shot his mother in her head. His nine-year-old brother was sleeping next to her and got upset, so Griego shot him, too, and then his two sisters who came into the room crying. He then waited in a bathroom for his father to get home and shot him, too.
